Hasbro, Inc. announced their plans for the TRANSFORMERS 30th Anniversary this year. (Side note: A little sad I'm older than Transformers, even if its only a few months.) They are having fans vote on a new TRANSFORMER to join the current lineup. The winning Autobot or Decepticon will be revealed at this year's San Diego Comic Con. You have until May 5th to enter your choices!

The Questions from Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS vote

Yes, this is a ploy to increase sales but still, I love these fan based activities. This gives all of us fans, old and new, to be a small part of creation. Their questions aren't bad either, which helps a lot. I've kinda lost touch with TRANSFORMERS from my childhood, so I am excited to take part in this. I will also do my best to be on hand for the unveiling at SDCC. So go vote now and share your picks with us in the comments!

I recently discovered that Justice League was playing on Netflix. This made me extremely happy. It's the "In the Blackest Night" episode where Green Lantern is on trial on Ajuris 5. The JL goes to rescue him, and Superman is kicking alien butt, which is always fun, but then I thought, "How does he have his powers on that planet?"

Superman is a comic that I would love to follow, but there is just too much to catch up on. I pick up some of the stories in the trades, but mostly, I get my Superman fix from the movies, TV shows, and occasionally Wiki. I was always under the impression that Superman's powers came from the yellow sun. Has that changed? If so, when and what's the new version?

I was watching the Guilty Pleasures episode of Glee last night, and I noticed something odd (it's Glee, there are a lot of odd things to notice) - the doors to the choir room are always open. Always. How is that acceptable in a school? Why do we need to see students walking outside the door? Is it to remind us that they are at a school? I would think the choir room would be enough for that. And where the heck is Sue Sylvester yelling at them to keep their infernal racket down? To be fair, for this performance they were coming from outside, but look at other performances. The doors are always open. I can suspend belief for many things but I find this one a little hard to swallow.

That's right, we are about 5 weeks out from one of the bestest days of the year, Free Comic Book Day! Every first Saturday of May, comic stores all over the country give out free comics to awaiting geeks, in hopes to encourage reading (and spending money) of comics. Now, if you are a not a comic reader, you should check out Free Comic Book Day at your local comic shop. If you are a comic reader, still check it out but bring a friend who doesn't read comics. Spread the comic love!

If I can't convince you, let Thomas Jane convince you. He knows all about the nutrition value of comics.
